I remember this back when I had cd forms of HL, BS and OF. Now all my versions are steam, and I only have HL:Source.

I was wondering, is there a mod that has the graphic update? Or do I need specifically HL and not HL:source.
 
It's called High Definition Pack.
 
It's only for Half-Life officially (here), but there is a Half-Life Source HD pack made by the community I think.
 
fakefactory must be a ban word
 
The Blue Shift HD pack was let down a lot by the G-Man model...
 
I don't like what they did with the alien grunts either.
 
I agree about G-man, I still can't believe that he would be wearing that "ridiculous tie".
HECU soldiers and science team skins are really well done, though.
 
I think there's a reapck somewhere that uses the original GMan instead of the updated one.
Also, here's a comparison shot of the various Zombie models:

I don't like how the front claws stick out though. Also the green blobs growing out of the arms add the whole general cartoony feel of the HD pack, which is the main reason I don't like it. The original zombies looked like they were rotting.
 
'Specially the earlier development days.

For anyone who's seen the HL Nostalgia Project.
 
I assume the more realistic look in HL2 was for the immersion they were shooting for, but it definitely changed the feel from the first to the second game.
